Red....you lost me after "Hi Callahan." Thanks anyway! I'm 70 right after Sir Farri! Brain dead. Me. Not Frank.

Frank, you & I think alike. I'm just fortunate to live in a fairly isolated place in northern Florida USA next to a beautiful Bay that ebbs & flows into the Gulp of Mexico. I constantly eyeball both my Drifter & my Trike. I don't need a bunch of pencil pushers out for my money & job security to tell me what I need to do. We have a plan in place at the hangar, if the Federal Aviation yah-hoos show up unannounced, we have an immediate "Doctor's appointment." Hangar closes. If they post a sticker on the door saying "Don't Open under Federal Law." Rest assured, the wind will blow it off or the rain will wash it off...or both.

 

As far as I`m concerned, legal doesn`t necessarily mean safe! There are plenty of legal Ultralights that have crashed and plenty illegal ones that haven't, the most important thing is that you`re still around after 30 years of flying them.

 

I`ll be 70 on new years day, not really an outlaw either, just don`t like or have much time for rules that don`t benefit what I do.

 

Frank,
